Palmquist will serve as the Nationals' opening pitcher for Friday's game against the Diamondbacks, Kyle Williams of TheBanner.com reports.
Palmquist gave up four earned runs in 1.2 innings the last time he served as an opener Tuesday against the Rockies, but the Nationals will give him another chance to handle the opening frame or two during Friday's contest. Zack Littell is in line to pitch in bulk relief once Palmquist exits the game.

Nationals' Carson Palmquist: Serving as opener in Colorado
Rotowire
Palmquist will serve as the Nationals' opening pitcher Tuesday in Colorado, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.
Palmquist is capable of more length than most openers, having struck out four over three innings of one-run ball in his last opener assignment versus the Yankees on July 10. Depending on how he fares early on during the game, Palmquist could end up being deployed as more of a piggyback starter in front of Miles Mikolas, who is lined up to pitch in bulk relief.

Nationals' Carson Palmquist: Back in Triple-A
Rotowire
The Nationals optioned Palmquist to Triple-A Rochester following Wednesday's game against the Phillies.
Palmquist gave up one earned run in 3.1 innings while making his season debut as the Nats' opener Wednesday. Now that he's fulfilled his duties with the big club, he'll head back to Rochester, where he's posted a 3.27 ERA and 0.73 WHIP across 11 frames since joining the organization in May.

Nationals' Carson Palmquist: Called up, will serve as opener
Rotowire
The Nationals recalled Palmquist from Triple-A Rochester, and he'll serve as the team's opening pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.
Though he'll eventually settle into the Washington bullpen, Palmquist will be making his team debut in a starting role. The Nationals are likely counting on the left-handed Palmquist to cover the first inning or two, hoping that he can limit the effectiveness of a Philadelphia lineup that typically features two left-handed hitters in Kyle Schwarber (back) and Bryce Harper in the top three spots. Right-hander Miles Mikolas will take over in bulk relief once Palmquist exits the contest.

Rockies' Carson Palmquist: Dropped from 40-man roster
Rotowire
Palmquist was designated for assignment by the Rockies on Thursday.
Palmquist has posted an inflated 7.20 ERA and 2.16 WHIP over 25 innings in 12 appearances, including five starts, with Triple-A Albuquerque this season. If he clears waivers, he'll likely remain with the Triple-A squad. The move was made in order to create a spot on the 40-man roster for infielder Chad Stevens, who had his contract selected Thursday.

Rockies' Carson Palmquist: Rejoins big club
Rotowire
The Rockies recalled Palmquist from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.
With Colorado trading Jake Bird and Tyler Kinley prior to Thursday's deadline, Palmquist will come back up to reinforce the pitching staff. The left-handed Palmquist has worked exclusively as a starter at the big-league level so far in his career, but he has struggled to a 7.63 ERA and 1.73 WHIP, and it's possible he works as more of a swingman this time around.

Rockies' Carson Palmquist: Sent to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Rockies optioned Palmquist to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.
Palmquist has made seven starts across his two stints in the majors this season, and he'll head back to Triple-A with a 7.63 ERA and 22:18 K:BB across 30.2 innings with the Rockies. Kyle Freeland (back) is expected to return from the 15-day injured list later this week to replace Palmquist in the rotation, according to Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com.

Rockies' Carson Palmquist: Receiving another start
Rotowire
Palmquist is slated to start Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks at Coors Field.
The rookie will pick up a second turn through the rotation after being called up from Triple-A Albuquerque to serve as a replacement for lefty Kyle Freeland (back), who was placed on the injured list last weekend. While stepping in for Freeland in Monday's 6-4 win over the Nationals, Palmquist took a no-decision and gave up four earned runs on four hits and three walks over 4.2 innings. Over his six starts this season with the Rockies, Palmquist owns a 7.76 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 18:16 K:BB in 26.2 innings.

Rockies' Carson Palmquist: Gives up four runs
Rotowire
Palmquist allowed four runs on four hits and three walks while striking out two in 4.2 innings during Monday's 6-4 win over the Nationals.
After a short trip to the minors, Palmquist came back and did not factor in the decision, departing in a one-run game. The 24-year-old has only made it through five innings once this season and has struggled when called upon, pitching to a 7.76 ERA in 26.2 innings over six appearances.

Rockies' Carson Palmquist: Moving into rotation
Rotowire
The Rockies recalled Palmquist from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.
He was just optioned to Triple-A on Thursday, but Palmquist will rejoin the Rockies in short order and reclaim a spot in the rotation after Kyle Freeland (back) was placed on the 15-day IL. Palmquist will start Monday on the road against the Nationals, and he'll tentatively line up for a second start later in the week versus the Diamondbacks at Coors Field. Though he's regarded as one of the better pitching prospects in a thin system, he went 0-4 with a 7.77 ERA and 1.82 WHIP over his first five starts with Colorado and won't make for an appealing streaming option in the majority of fantasy leagues.

Rockies' Carson Palmquist: Sent back to minors
Rotowire
The Rockies optioned Palmquist to Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday.
Palmquist struggled in his first five starts at the major-league level, collecting a 7.77 ERA and 16:13 K:BB across 22 innings of work. The left-hander's demotion to Albuquerque suggests that Austin Gomber (shoulder) could be ready to return from the 60-day injured list to take the hill the next time a fifth starter is needed Sunday in Atlanta.

Rockies' Carson Palmquist: Unravels late in loss
Rotowire
Palmquist (0-4) took the loss against the Mets on Sunday, allowing four runs on four hits and two walks with eight strikeouts over 4.2 innings.
Palmquist opened with three scoreless frames before serving up a pair of home runs across the fourth and fifth innings. The rookie notched a career-high eight strikeouts but has now yielded at least four earned runs in three of his four major-league starts. He'll carry a bloated 8.50 ERA, 1.83 WHIP and 14:10 K:BB across 18 innings into a home rematch with the Mets next weekend.

Rockies' Carson Palmquist: Struggles in big-league debut
Rotowire
Palmquist (0-1) allowed five runs on six hits and a walk while failing to record a strikeout over four innings as he took the loss Friday versus the Diamondbacks.
A steady stream of traffic on the bases and productive outs by Arizona made Palmquist's work more difficult in his major-league debut. He threw 48 of 76 pitches for strikes, and it didn't help that the Rockies offered just two hits and four walks without scoring a run to support him. Palmquist posted a 3.82 ERA over 35.1 innings with Triple-A Albuquerque prior to his call-up, so it's likely asking a lot of the 24-year-old to step in with excellent performances right away. The southpaw is tentatively projected for his home debut versus the Phillies next week, which makes him incredibly risky for fantasy managers.

Rockies' Carson Palmquist: Bothered by non-throwing arm
Rotowire
Palmquist was removed from his relief appearance in Wednesday's Cactus League game the Angels due to an apparent right arm injury, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.
Palmquist is a southpaw, so while his injury is to his non-throwing arm, it's still less than ideal that he wasn't able to stay in the game after hitting Anthony Rendon with a pitch to lead off the fifth inning. The southpaw had previously worked a clean fourth inning, working around a one-out double by striking out Mike Trout to end the frame. The 23-year-old is likely to open the 2024 season at either Triple-A Albuquerque or Double-A Hartford.
